Yes, America interferes in elections all the time. And yes, the Russian ad buys happened after the election. And yes, the DNC really did rig the primaries for Hillary. But if you believe the truth then you’re a dirty Russian!

I am reminded of Corbett’s Episode 320 – Echoes of WWI: China, the US, and the Next “Great” War https://www.corbettreport.com/episode-320-echoes-of-wwi-china-the-us-and-the-next-great-war/
It seems that we are currently in WW3, but this war doesn’t necessarily have borders nor clearly defined physical lines.
Concepts are the new “prize” among all the players.

Interesting OPINION piece by Leonid Bershidsky follows the article.
QUOTE: I see a bigger threat than that: Limiting foreigners’ ability to troll U.S. politicians, or even the political process as a whole, could be the first step toward doing the same for Americans.

Jerome Corsi states that Homeland Security found direct tampering and manipulation of votes in their investigation.

This means a direct manipulation of the Democratic voting. Local people are involved (hint: no Russians). And these manipulations were helping Hillary.
There has been much more direct voting manipulations. Redacted tonight has some videos on it. With some humor.

Another interesting thing is that DCI / Homenland Security wants to take over all voting. That is “to prevent foreign interference”. Which probably means that any future rigging will be hidden behind a veil of security.

Project veritas has been doing good undercover work.
He may be a bit biased towards trump, but he surely can
show what is wrong with the media and the system.
Most of the work should start criminal investigations
against the targets.

The depth and breadth of manipulation goes deep. The lie of #RussiaGate not surprisingly provides cover for seemingly endless corruption which includes, in my opinion, the ongoing dirty war of aggression in the sovereign nation of Syria. Former CIA director James Woolsey is on the Strategic Advisory Board for Genie Energy who have scoped out and are doing test drilling for oil in Syria’s Golan Heights which is illegally occupied by Israel.
“Israel, In violation of the UN Charter, illegally occupied the Golan Heights after the Israeli army took it in the 1967 Six Days War. When Israel declared applicability of Israeli law in the territory and began Israeli settlements in a de facto act of annexation of Golan Heights in 1981, the UN Security Council passed UN Resolution §497, which declared that, “the Israeli decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights is null and void and without international legal effect.”
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the first heads of government to go to the United States to meet Donald Trump on February 16, in Trump’s new role as President. After the event major media focused on the themes of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, the Iran nuclear deal or a Palestine two-state solution.
“Virtually no mention was made by CNN or other US mainstream media of the most strategic point the two discussed. Netanyahu asked the US President to recognize the Israeli illegal occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights, something no US President has done since Israel openly declared it theirs in 1981.”
The foregoing excerpts are from the excellent article by F. William Engdahl, “Golan Heights, Israel, Oil and Trump”: https://journal-neo.org/2017/03/30/golan-heights-israel-oil-and-trump/
Here are some excerpts from the article, “Jared Kushner Employed White House Conflict of Interest While Bombing Syria: Genie Energy’s Ira Greenstein” which relate to Woolsey:
“Investment into the energy corporation [Genie Energy] primarily began around the time the Syrian Civil War was beginning to heat up, with equity stakes being purchased.
“Genie Energy’s foundation lay in its Strategic Advisory Board (SAB). It includes colorful characters like Richard Cheney, former CIA Director James Woolsey, media mogul Rupert Murdoch & even Lord Jacob Rothschild (Again).
“As some will note, James Woolsey (Member: Project For The New American Century) was another one of Genie Energy’s direct connections to Trump, as a senior adviser.

There’s also this interesting bit regarding Woolsey, Trump, Turkey, Erdogan and Gulen which relates to the period in 2016, shortly after Woolsey became an advisor to Trump’s election campaign.
“Former CIA director James Woolsey pitched a $10 million (7.59 million pounds) contract to two Turkish businessmen to help discredit a controversial U.S.-based cleric while Woolsey was an adviser to Donald Trump’s election campaign, three people familiar with the proposal said.
“Just eight days after formally joining Trump’s campaign as an adviser on national security issues, Woolsey met on Sept. 20, 2016 with businessmen Ekim Alptekin and Sezgin Baran Korkmaz over lunch at the Peninsula Hotel in New York, they said.
“Woolsey and his wife, Nancye Miller, proposed a lobbying and public relations campaign targeting Fethullah Gulen, a Turkish cleric who lives in Pennsylvania.
“Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accuses Gulen of instigating a failed coup in July 2016 and wants him extradited to Turkey to face trial. Gulen has denied any role in the coup.”

Here are some highlights from the article, “A key witness in the Russia probe had a ‘lengthy conversation’ with Trump at Mar-a-Lago” published at Business Insider on November 27, 2017:
· James Woolsey, the former CIA director who has been cooperating with the special counsel Robert Mueller, had a “lengthy conversation” with President Donald Trump over dinner last weekend at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
· Woolsey, who served on the board of Michael Flynn’s lobbying firm, Flynn Intel Group, was at a meeting on September 19, 2016, with Flynn and Turkish government ministers in which they discussed removing the controversial Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen from US soil, Woolsey has said.
· Mueller’s team has interviewed Woolsey about that meeting, and Woolsey has been in touch with the FBI since before Mueller began overseeing the bureau’s Russia investigation in May.

Woolsey is a major operator and player on the grand chessboard and his many roles interestingly included being, “involved in treaty negotiations with the Soviet Union for five years in the 1980s.”
These are some of his other more recent roles from Wikipedia. Yes, I know, but I find that it’s often a good place to start and have found some valuable nuggets to follow from there at times.
“Woolsey is the chairman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. He is Chairman of the Advisory Board at the Opportunities Development Group (ODG). ODG did not file a federal tax return in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012.[7][8] He is currently a member of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP) Board of Advisors, Advisor of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, co-founder of the United States Energy Security Council, Founding Member of the Set America Free Coalition, and a Senior Vice President at Booz Allen Hamilton for Global Strategic Security (since July 15, 2002).[9]
“He is a Patron of the Henry Jackson Society, a British think tank. Woolsey has had long-standing contact with Central and Eastern Europe and as a Member of the Board of Advisors of the Global Panel Foundation based in Berlin, Copenhagen, Prague, Sydney, and Toronto. He was formerly chairman of the Freedom House board of trustees. He is a member of the International Advisory Board of NGO Monitor.[10]
“Woolsey is a member of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) and was one of the signatories to the January 26, 1998 letter sent to President Clinton that called for the removal of Saddam Hussein.[11] That same year he served on the Rumsfeld Commission, which investigated the threat of ballistic missiles for the U.S. Congress.[12]
“In 2008, Woolsey joined VantagePoint Venture Partners as a venture partner.[13]
“John McCain hired Woolsey as an advisor on energy and climate change issues for his 2008 U.S. Presidential election campaign.[14]
“In April 2011, Lux Capital announced that Woolsey would become a venture partner in the firm.[15]
“In July 2011, Woolsey, in cooperation with Robert McFarlane, co-founded the United States Energy Security Council. Woolsey currently sits on the Board of Advisors for the Fuel Freedom Foundation.[16]
“He received an honorary doctorate from the Institute of World Politics in Washington, DC in 2011.
“Woolsey was a Board Member and Vice-Chairman of The Jamestown Foundation,[17] and sits on the advisory board for nonprofit America Abroad Media.[18]
“He currently serves as Chancellor at The Institute of World Politics[19] and the independent non-executive director of Imperial Pacific.[20]
“Woolsey joined as a senior adviser to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in September 2016.[21][22] He resigned on January 5 amid Congressional hearings into cyber attacks and public statements by Donald Trump critical of the United States Intelligence Community.[23]”

Sometimes you can learn about a topic by listening to how the person presents their argument and how they counter-argue points made against their argument. Here is a case of an MSM Russia Gater, William Arkin of NBC News, arguing in favor of the “Russia/Russians did it” narrative.
Major points in the interview that stuck out to me were,
– His leading argument is an appeal to authority fallacy. He claims “everyone knows” Russia influenced the 2016 election because the intelligence agencies told us so.
– There is various vague and unsubstantiated information, claimed as evidence, that when you squint really hard makes a connection when placed together, that points towards Russia having an influence in American politics.
If this is the quality of argument and “evidence” that a professional journalist from an established media organization, who has spent a year and a half researching this topic, has to offer, it makes it clear it is hysteria and propaganda.
